Goalkeeper Bickford's heroics have been key in Ivoryton's tough relegation sprint. In Tuesday's (2) match against Leicester City, he saved a 12-yard penalty kick from an opposing player, which may have sealed the team's fate. Attentive netizens found that Bickford's water bottle was labeled with a "mysterious note" that analyzed the shooting habits of Lister City's penalty takers, and James Maddison was widely predicted to "shoot in the middle," but Bickford successfully resolved the crisis with his excellent reflexes! But Bickford's reflexes were so good that he managed to defuse the crisis!
Just before half-time, Lister City's 12-yard penalty would have sealed relegation for Ewarton if it had gone in. However, Bickford chose to stay put and blocked James Maddison's shot from the spot. The TV cameras caught the "cat paper" on Bickford's water bottle, which analyzed the shooting habits of James Maddison, Terry Vance and Jimmy Wardy. According to the "cat paper", James Maddison had a 60% chance of shooting in the center, and 20% each on the left and right sides, so the final strategy was to "lock down the center".
